Method and system for tracking and analyzing data obtained using a light based positioning system

摘要

In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method for tracking and analyzing information in a location using a light based positioning system. In some embodiments, the method includes determining a position of a device in a location using a light based positioning system, electronically receiving data from the device, and updating a database with said data. In some embodiments, determining the position of the device includes receiving a position determination from the device. In some embodiments, determining the position of the device includes electronically receiving from the device one or more identification codes of one or more light sources that the device has detected using an image sensor on the device and calculating the position of the device using the one or more identification codes.

1. A method for tracking and analyzing information in a location using a light based positioning system, the method comprising:
determining a position of a mobile device in a location using a light based positioning system, wherein the determining comprises:
acquiring at least one identifier with the mobile device, each said at least one identifier corresponding to a different pattern of distortions within an image acquired by the mobile device, each pattern of distortions being related to a modulation frequency of modulated light emitted by an asynchronous light source;electronically receiving from the mobile device at least one said identifier, each said identifier being associated with a different asynchronous light source; andcalculating the position of the mobile device using the at least one identifier; subsequent to determining the position of the mobile device, electronically receiving, at a remote server, data describing the location from the mobile device, wherein the data describing the location is distinct from the position of the mobile device; and updating a database to store the data describing the location, the data being correlated to the position of the mobile device.
